ATP Finals: Elite eight out for Turin silverware

The season finale on the men’s side is ready to roll with plenty of storylines to pour over in Italy.

11 months on the road have culminated in one last shot, the prestigious ATP Finals.

The 2022 season finale on the men’s tour is hosted at the Pala Alpitour in Turin, Italy, and the draw has been made ahead of a blockbuster week.

The news has swirled around social media, Big Three rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are separated in the group stages.

However, the world No.1 Carlos Alcaraz was absent from the drawsheet, having been forced to withdraw with an abdominal muscle tear.

Nadal to give his all

Considering the persistent injury battles, Nadal has managed to compile another milestone campaign. The 36-year-old, this year’s Australian Open and Roland-Garros champion , is reflecting a positive persona.

Qualifying for the 17th time, the Spaniard is targeting his maiden ATP Finals crown in the ‘Green Group’ alongside Casper Ruud (1-0 Nadal), Felix Auger-Aliassime (2-0 Nadal) and his opening opponent on Sunday night, Taylor Fritz (2-1 Nadal).

Will Nadal’s lack of matches be detrimental? All that is guaranteed is the world No.2 will leave it all out there on the court.

"It's always great news to be playing the last event of the year. That says that you had a great season, so I'm excited," said 22-time Grand Slam winner, who fell to Tommy Paul in three sets at the Rolex Paris Masters .

"Italy is a very close country for me. Being in Turin for the first time in my life, it's a new experience, so I'm very happy for that and I'm looking forward to seeing the stadium and the fans. I'll try my best as always."

As well as facing debutant Fritz, Nadal will have his work cut out against his Roland-Garros final opponent Ruud, who also reached the US Open finale .

Canada’s Auger-Aliassime will be dangerous for anyone. The 22-year-old lifted three tiles in three weeks en route to the Rolex Paris Masters, where he reached the semi-finals, before eventual champion Holger Rune halted his 16-match hot streak .

Djokovic seeking history once again

The relentless drive for all-time success still spurs on Djokovic.

The world No.8 spearheads the ‘Red Group’ in Turin, intent on tying Roger Federer’s record of six ATP Finals trophies . Djokovic will have to navigate past 2020 champion Daniil Medvedev (7-4 Djokovic), 2019 champion Stefanos Tsitsipas (9-2 Djokovic) and Andrey Rublev (1-1).

It’s fair to say it’s been a turbulent year for the Serbian. Just like Nadal, Djokovic dealt with adversity by making a major move, claiming his 21st Grand Slam title at Wimbledon .

The 35-year-old, a semi-finalist in the last two ATP Finals, recently reached the silverware showdown at the Rolex Paris Masters, only to lose a high-quality clash with the soaring teen Rune .

Djokovic is talking up his chances in Turin.

“The level of tennis that I'm playing is high, and I like my chances. Of course, every match is like a final there. There are no easy matches,” stated the world No.8.

“Every tournament is important at this stage of my career. Anywhere I play, I try to win. That's not a secret. That's kind of my mentality and approach coming into Turin.”

Top spot up for grabs for Stefanos

The Monday night clash between Djokovic and Tsitsipas will set out a marker for the Greek’s title credentials.

The world No.3 has more than the trophy within his grasp as he could finish 2022 with the year-end No.1 ranking.

Tsitsipas will need to be in supreme form, by taking the title without losing a match, the 24-year-old would jump to world No.1 for the very first time.

With Alcaraz recovering on the sidelines, if Tsitsipas doesn’t chalk up 5-0 in Turin, Nadal could return to the summit within several permutations.

Doubles delight

Top seeds Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski are the in-form side of the 2022 campaign and they’ll shoot for an eighth title of a trophy-laden season in the Green Group.

Watch out for Australian Open champions Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios who will attract a legion of younger fans into the stands.

Green Group Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski (1) Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic (4) Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek (5) Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios (8)

Red Group Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury (2) Marcelo Arevalo and Jean-Julien Rojer (3) Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliovaara (6) Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos (7)

2022 ATP Finals: When does it take place, venue, players in the draw, prize money, TV and streaming info

The 53rd edition of the ATP Finals takes place in Turin and we give you the lowdown of the important things ahead of the season-ending event.

What is the ATP Finals?

The prestigious ATP Finals is the season-finale for the men’s tennis season and is the biggest tournament on the calendar after the four Grand Slams. The top eight singles players and top eight doubles teams receive entries into the event.

This year marks the 53rd singles edition while it will be the 48th that the doubles have been part of the tournament. The first-ever Finals was held back in 1970 and it went by the name of Masters Grand Prix before being renamed the Tennis Masters Cup, then the ATP World Tour Finals and finally the Nitto ATP Finals (thanks to its sponsor).

When will this year’s tournament take place?

The ATP Finals starts on November 13 with the singles and doubles finals taking place on Sunday November 20.

The singles finals was initially scheduled to start at 16:00 GMT, but was pushed back to 18:00 to avoid clashing with the FIFA World Cup opening match in Qatar. The doubles final gets underway at 15:00 GMT.

What about the venue for this year’s tournament?

Turin’s Pala Alpitour, the largest indoor arena in Italy, hosted the event for the first time last year – replacing London’s O2 Arena, and its contract runs until 2025.

It cost €87 million (£75m) to build and opened its doors in 2005, hosting the likes of Lady Gaga, U2, Ed Sheeran, Madonna, Rihanna and Green Day since then. It has flexible stands can hold up to 16,600 spectators, but only 12,000 seats are available for the ATP Finals.

Tell us more about the format, please…

Unlike other tennis tournaments that are straight knockout events, the ATP Finals starts off with a round-robin phase as the eight singles players and eight doubles teams are divided into two groups.

The players/teams who finish in the top two of each group qualify for the semi-finals with qualifier one in one group taking on qualifier two from the other group.

Naturally, the winners qualify for the finals.

The final standing of each group is determined by the first of the following methods that apply: a) Greatest number of wins; b) Greatest number of matches played (2-1 won-loss record beats a 2-0 won-loss record; a 1-2 record beats a 1-0 record) c) Head-to-head results if only two (2) players are tied.

If three players/teams are tied, a very complicated formula is applied, but that’s very rare.

Who are the eight players/teams who have qualified for the 2022 edition?

World No 1 Carlos Alcaraz was the first player to qualify, but the Spaniard will have to wait to make his debut as an abdominal injury forced him out of the season-ending tournament.

It means Rafael Nadal will be the top seed in Turin, but there are also doubts over his participation as he is not fully match fit.

But for now he is in the draw along with Stefanos Tsitsipas, Casper Ruud, Daniil Medvedev, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Andrey Rublev, Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz.

American Fritz was initially an alternate, but he booked a ticket into the main draw after Alcaraz’s withdrawal. It means Holger Rune and Hubert Hurkacz are the alternates.

As for the doubles, Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski are the top seeds and they are followed by Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury; Marcelo Arévalo and Jean-Julien Rojer; Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic; Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek; Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliövaara; Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos; and Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios.

The roll of honour so far…

The first edition was won by Stan Smith in 1970 and the who’s who of men’s tennis have collected the title since as Ilie Năstase, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg, Ivan Lendl, Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have all won the title.

The one name missing from the list is Rafael Nadal as his best performances are a couple of runners-up spots.

Federer holds the record for most titles (6) with Djokovic, Sampras and Lendl on five. McEnroe and Peter Fleming holds the record for most doubles titles with seven while Mike Bryan won five titles and Bob Bryan four.

Alexander Zverev is the reigning champion, but he won’t defend his title as he missed the bulk of the season due to an ankle injury sustained at the French Open.

The doubles defending champions Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut will also not be in Turin as they are no longer a team.

When does the draw take place?

The draw is usually a fancy event as it takes place on the Friday before the tournament starts.

The pots for the draw are as follows: 1. Nadal, Tsitsipas 2. Ruud, Medvedev 3. Auger-Aliassime, Rublev 4. Djokovic, Fritz

What about points and prize money?

If a player wins the tournament undefeated he will collect 1,500 ranking points while an undefeated champion will walk away with a $4,740,300 cheque – the biggest winner’s prize money in tennis.

Points are awarded as follow for the singles and doubles: – 200 points for a win in the round robin – 400 points for a semi-final win – 500 points for winning the final

Singles prize money: – Alternate $150,000 – Participation Fee $320,000* – Round-robin match win $383,300 – Semi-final match win $1,070,000 – Final win $2,200,400 – Undefeated champion $4,740,300

The participation fee works as follows in the singles: 3 matches = $320,000 2 matches = $240,000 1 match = $160,000

Doubles prize money: – Alternate $50,000 – Participation Fee $130,000* – Round-robin match win $93,300 – Semi-final match win $170,000 – Final win $350,400 – Undefeated champion $930,300

Participation fee for the doubles: 3 matches = $130,000 2 matches = $97,500 1 match = $52,000

Djokovic, Ruud Chase Milestone Title In Turin

The Nitto ATP Finals championship match starts at 7pm CET/1pm ET on Sunday, 20 November.

The star-studded field of eight champions has been trimmed to two at the Nitto ATP Finals, with Novak Djokovic and Casper Ruud still standing to contest Sunday's title match. In addition to the Turin trophy, both men are playing for a major milestone in their respective careers.

Djokovic is seeking his sixth Nitto ATP Finals crown, a mark which would match Roger Federer for the tournament record. The 35-year-old can also become the oldest champion at the season finale, after the then-30-year-old Federer's London triumph in 2011. By claiming the title as an undefeated champion, Djokovic would walk away with a record payday of more than $4.7 million, as well as 1,500 Pepperstone ATP Rankings points.

Ruud — a nine-time ATP Tour champion — is hunting his first 'Big Title' after falling just short in the finals at Miami, Roland Garros and the US Open this year. Already up one place to World No. 3 in the Pepperstone ATP Live Rankings this week, the 23-year-old could return to No. 2 and move within 500 points of Carlos Alcaraz at the pinnacle of the men's game with another victory.

A victory would set either man up with a strong chance at passing the Spaniard early in the 2023 season, with neither Djokovic nor Ruud defending points at the Australian Open. 

Who wins Sunday's final?

Djokovic in two sets, djokovic in three sets, ruud in two sets, ruud in three sets.

Despite his lofty ranking, Ruud still feels like the underdog against Djokovic, who has moved up three places himself to No. 5 this week in the Pepperstone ATP Live Rankings. The Norwegian has yet to win a set in three previous meetings with the former World No. 1, including a 7-6(4), 6-2 defeat last year in the Turin group stage. But Ruud has high hopes of breaking that trend on Sunday against the reigning Wimbledon champion.

"He's a player that doesn't have many weaknesses at all," he said of his final opponent. "But he is human. He lost two weeks ago to Rune in the [Rolex Paris Masters] final. It's not like he plays these finals every day of his career, in his life. I'm sure he will also feel a little bit of pressure. There's a lot on the line."

Having watched Djokovic win his five previous year-end titles on TV, Ruud is now in position to stop him from gaining No. 6. He will be hoping that fitness becomes a factor, with Djokovic entering his third match in as many days after gruelling contests against Daniil Medvedev and Taylor Fritz.

"He's played a little bit more tennis than I have," Ruud said after a dominant 6-2, 6-4 semi-final win against Andrey Rublev. "I don't know if he will feel tired — probably not. But this is the perfect way for me to go into the final. I hope I can save some of this great tennis for tomorrow and see what happens."

As he did against Rublev, Ruud will seek to use his high-RPM forehand to dictate the rallies against Djokovic. The Norwegian's tactics for his semi-final win centred on attacking the Rublev backhand. On Sunday, Djokovic may employ the same game plan against Ruud.

According to the finalists' INSIGHTS Shot Quality scores — which factor in a variety of metrics to grade strokes on a 10-point scale — the backhand is where Djokovic holds the biggest edge in this matchup. With both men characterised as 'Solid Baseliners' by the analysis, the title match will be won by the player who executes that style better on the day.

Specific to this week in Turin, the statistics are even more encouraging for Djokovic, with his forehand rated a field-leading 8.91 at the Pala Alpitour. The Serbian also leads the eight Turin qualifiers in Steal Score and Return Quality this week, with Ruud graded second on the forehand and third in Steal rate. 

In addition to stealing 37.1 per cent of points from defence this week, Djokovic has played nearly 25 per cent of his shots In Attack at the 2022 Nitto ATP Finals, and he has converted 73.6 per cent of points in which he has gained an offensive advantage.

All of that has translated to a seventh tour-level final of the season for Djokovic.

"I was looking forward to being in this position," the seventh seed said after his 7-6(5), 7-6(6) win against Fritz on Saturday. "I'm very happy to be able to compete for another big trophy, one of the biggest ones that we have in our sport."

While he admitted to feeling "heavy legs" and a "lack of reactivity" against the American, Djokovic took care of business without his very best tennis. He knows nothing short of excellence will be enough against Ruud in the final.

"I would love to, of course, win the trophy, but I'm not going to be the only player who is going to want that on the court," Djokovic said in his post-match press conference. "Hopefully I'll be able to play at the level that I've played most of the matches this week and get a trophy."

It would come as no surprise to see Djokovic ending his season with the title after his strong lead-in to Turin. The Serbian posted a 13-1 record in his past three ATP Tour events, winning trophies in Tel Aviv and Astana before reaching the Rolex Paris Masters Final. His four titles this season also include triumphs at Wimbledon and in Rome.

Ruud's progress in Turin was less predictable — similar to his breakout season, which the Norwegian has admitted surprised even him. After his run to the US Open final, Ruud slumped to a 2-4 record in four ATP Tour tournaments before rediscovering his form in Turin.

"I think when the draw was made here, I guess I was the least favourite to reach the final; I think I can say for sure, compared to all the other great players who I consider are maybe better hard-court indoor players than myself," Ruud said after reaching the title match. "There are small margins in this sport. I've been able to come through, fight through, be in the final, so I'm very happy about it."

Players with the most wins at a single ATP tournament, ft. Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic

It is no surprise that Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are the three players who top the list for the most match wins at ATP tournaments. 

While the ‘Big Three’ have dominated at the four Grand Slam tournaments like no other players in the history of men’s tennis, they have also enjoyed huge success at ATP Tour events.

Here, we look at the most match victories earned by male players at a single tournament outside the Grand Slams in the Open Era.

Roger Federer – 75 (Basel)

Federer won a remarkable 75 matches at the Swiss Indoors, which is the highest total for any player at a single ATP Tour tournament.

The Swiss legend secured a record 10 titles at the event staged in his home city of Basel, with his first triumph coming in 2006.

Fittingly, Federer won the last of his 103 ATP singles titles at the Swiss Indoors in 2019, when he defeated Alex de Minaur in his final title match in tennis.

Rafael Nadal – 73 (Monte Carlo)

Nadal ‘s record at all of the sport’s biggest clay-court tournaments is imperious, but his 73 wins at the Monte Carlo Masters is the most he has compiled at any single best-of-three set event.

The Spanish icon holds an astonishing 92% (73-6) win rate in Monte Carlo and won 46 straight matches and eight consecutive titles at the tournament between 2005 and 2013.

The ‘King of Clay’ claimed his first Masters 1000 crown in Monaco in 2005 at the age of 18, while his record-extending 11th and most recent triumph came in 2018.

Rafael Nadal – 70 (Italian Open)

Nadal’s three-set opening round victory over Zizou Bergs at the 2024 Italian Open last week was his 70th win at the ATP Masters 1000 tournament.

The 22-time Grand Slam champion has secured a record 10 titles in Rome, where he triumphed on his debut appearance in 2005.

The former world No 1, who has lost only nine times in 19 Italian Open appearances, won his 36th and most recent Masters 1000 title at the 2021 edition of the clay-court event.

Roger Federer – 69 (Halle)

Federer holds the record for the most wins at a single grass-court tournament outside of Wimbledon with his 69 victories at the Halle Open.

The 20-time Major winner first triumphed in Halle in 2003, while he also secured his penultimate ATP title in the German town in 2019. The Swiss won a record 10 titles at the tournament.

Novak Djokovic – 68 (Italian Open)

Djokovic  has won more matches at the Italian Open than any other tournament outside the Majors, with his second round victory over Corentin Moutet last week his 68th in the Italian capital.

The great Serbian has won six titles in Rome, second only to his great rival Nadal, and he has also been a runner-up on six occasions.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion claimed his first big clay-court title at the 2007 edition of the Italian Open, while he most recently won the event in 2022.

Swiatek beats Sabalenka in Rome to win third Rome title

In a historic first, the World No.1 and No.2 players met in the Rome final, where top-seeded Iga Swiatek defeated Aryna Sabalenka 6-2, 6-3 on Saturday to win the Internazionali BNL d'Italia title.

Swiatek needed 1 hour and 29 minutes to beat Sabalenka for the eighth time in their 11 meetings. Swiatek has triumphed in Rome in three of the last four years, also taking the WTA 1000 title in 2021 and 2022.

"I kind of knew that if I'm going to work hard and if I'm going to be in the right mindset, this is achievable," Swiatek said afterward. "I'm happy I was so focused and disciplined throughout the tournament to do that."

Stat corner: Swiatek's run to her 21st career WTA singles title, and her fourth of this year, increases a number of her staggering statistics.

Swiatek has now won her last nine singles finals. The last time the Polish player lost in a final was to Sabalenka at Madrid last year -- which is also the only time Sabalenka has defeated Swiatek in the five times they've met in finals (all of those on clay).

Rome becomes the third tournament where Swiatek is a three-time champion. Swiatek has also won three titles at Roland Garros (2020, 2022 and 2023) and Doha (2022, 2023 and 2024).

Swiatek also defeated Sabalenka in the Mutua Madrid Open final two weeks ago (saving three championship points) and she becomes the third player to win Rome and Madrid in the same year. Dinara Safina pulled off the double in 2009, and Serena Williams followed suit in 2013.

"For sure this match looked a little bit differently than in Madrid," Swiatek said. "I felt like I'm putting a lot of pressure. I just continued doing that throughout the whole match. Really proud of myself and really happy."

Swiatek, who turns 23 at the end of this month, is only the second woman to win three or more Internazionali BNL d'Italia titles before the age of 23 in the Open Era (since 1969). Gabriela Sabatini won four Rome titles before her 22nd birthday.

"Hopefully if I win next time, there's going to be a tiramisu here. I'm still waiting." 😂 @iga_swiatek | #IBI24 pic.twitter.com/ako83JUxja — wta (@WTA) May 18, 2024

Tale of the tape:  In Saturday’s final, strong depth on return gave Swiatek an early lead, breaking at love for 2-1. Swiatek was the steadier of the pair in the opening frame as she eased to the one-set advantage.

In the second set, Sabalenka came out firing, hitting more winners in the first two games than she had in the entire opening set (five). Sabalenka was rewarded with her first break points of the day, where she had five chances to break for an early 2-0 lead.

However, Swiatek is this year’s tour leader in break points saved, and she demonstrated that skill once again. The top seed found strong serves as she erased all of those break points, gritting out a crucial hold for 1-1 to keep pace with Sabalenka.

Turning point: How Swiatek saved all seven break points in the Rome final

Swiatek saved two more break points in her following service game as well, which proved to be the last moment of peril on her delivery. She ended the final 7-for-7 on break points saved.

Swiatek took the lead for good at 4-3 after a netted backhand by Sabalenka ceded the first break of the second set. The World No.1 broke one more time for good measure to wrap up her latest WTA 1000 clay-court title.
